Our take on the Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylics

Amsterdam Standard Series is a student-grade acrylic paint made by Royal Talens, sold here in a 120 ml (4 oz) tube in a purple shade. It is a thick, buttery acrylic that brushes out smoothly, mixes well and dries to a matte finish. The 120 ml tube is the large size in the line, so it suits painters who use a lot of one color. It is a mid-priced student acrylic, well below the company's Rembrandt artist line.

Questions and answers

Is Amsterdam Standard Series good for beginners?
Yes. It is a student-grade acrylic with an easy, workable consistency and a low cost per tube. It is a sensible first paint before moving to artist-grade acrylics.
How does it compare with Amsterdam's Rembrandt acrylics?
Rembrandt is the artist-grade line, with higher pigment concentration and better lightfastness. Standard Series is cheaper, thinner and aimed at students and hobbyists.
Can I thin it with water?
Yes, water thins it and cleans brushes while the paint is wet. Too much water weakens the binder, so use a medium for heavy dilution.
Is the 120 ml tube worth it over smaller tubes?
If you use a lot of this color, yes: the price per milliliter is lower than on the small tubes. For colors you rarely use, a smaller tube avoids waste.
Does it work on canvas and paper?
It adheres to canvas, canvas board, paper and most primed surfaces. Prime bare wood or board first so the paint does not soak in.
When is it cheapest?
Back-to-school season and store-wide art supply sales tend to bring the lowest prices. Buying several tubes at once often beats single-tube pricing.
